Could 'Blue Wave' carry Democrats to victory in Will County?

Bill Thoman, chairman of the Will County Democrats, confirmed gaining a majority on the board is a goal for this election.

Although Republican incumbents have touted tax decreases and while simultaneously sparking big projects such as the new courthouse, Thoman argued there is more that could have been done. He argued that in the past, he’s wanted to see more done with renewable energy savings, and even implement a small gas tax to fund a real estate tax rebate.

Thoman argued a gas tax would have pushed the burden onto many nonresidents, but the Republicans were not willing to go along.
